Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah has been temporarily released from the national squad in order to work with spin consultant Mushtaq Ahmed at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore ahead of the side's second Test against Sri Lanka, beginning December 19 in Karachi.

The International Council of Cricket (ICC) on Saturday took to Twitter to troll Pakistan after it rescheduled the second ODI match against Sri Lanka which was earlier scheduled to be held in Karachi on September 29 to September 30. This was done in view of the first ODI match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka being washed out due to the rain.

The move came after the opening ODI of the three-match series between the two sides was abandoned without a ball bowled in what would have been the first international match at Karachi's National Stadium since 2009.

Friends and family may be miles away, but social media ensures they not only stay in touch but can also engage in a healthy banter, something Sania Mirza and her husband Shoaib Malik enjoyed after Pakistan beat Sri Lanka in Lahore to win the T20I series and Shoaib was awarded a bike as 'Man of the Series'.

After arriving in Lahore for the third T20I against Pakistan, the Sri Lankan team and their officials were taken to a five-star hotel in a bomb-proof bus with hundreds of security guards on the roads and at the resort.
